The Ultimate Fighter 14 Recap

This in the beginning anyway has been one of the best so far.Back at the UFC Training Center, head coaches Michael Bispng and Jason "Mayhem" Miller meet with their coaches to discuss strategy before picking their teams.

The fighters then converge at the center, where UFC president Dana White flips a coin to determine the first pick. After the coin comically rolls across the mat on its side, it finally tips over and gives Bisping the first draft pick or matchmaking dueties the first fight. Bisping opts for the first pick.

The draft begins, and the teams include (in draft order):

TEAM BISPING
Bantamweights: Louis Gaudinot, T.J. Dillashaw, John Albert, Josh Ferguson
Featherweights: Diego Brandao, Akira Corassani, Marcus Brimage, Stephen Bass

TEAM MAYHEM
Bantamweights: John Dodson, Johnny Bedford, Dustin Pague, Roland Delorme
Featherweights: Dennis Bermudez, Bryan Caraway, Dustin Neace, Steven Siler

Dana reminds the fighters that $25,000 bonuses are up for grabs for the best fight, best knockout and best submission on the show. Fans get to choose the winners, and a fighter can win more than one.
